Pyroglyphix is a band based in Suzhou, China, whose music combines rock, electronic and hip-hop elements.
Founded several years ago by childhood friends MC Tom Batchelor and guitar player Blayne Duffy from Britain, the band's frenzied live shows quickly earned them a reputation on the local scene. With the addition of fellow Brit Danny Abbasi on drums and Chinese bass player Liu Xiao, Canadian MC Mark Woo and singer Samantha Lyall from Baltimore, US, the band took a more groove-oriented approach, with a greater emphasis on electronic elements and vocal hooks delivered by the inimitable Lyall.
In March 2014 the band were named 'Suzhou's Best Band' at the City Weekend Suzhou Reader's Choice Awards.
In Summer 2014 the band recorded its first 5-track EP, Remedy, with producer/engineer Ryan Baird at The 72 Studio, Shanghai. It was officially released in CD format at a sold-out party at Wave Livehouse, Suzhou on January 24th, 2015.
Pyroglyphix is playing dates around China during Spring 2015, with plans to record a debut album later in the year.
